A rapid, low-cost, portable and reliable method for on-site detection of deoxynivalenol (DON), a representative mycotoxin predominantly occurring in grains, would be helpful to control mycotoxin contamination. Herein, a paper-based microfluidic chip capable of measuring deoxynivalenol (DON-Chip) in foods, feeds and feed ingredients was developed. As discussed herein, the DON-Chip incorporated a colorimetric competitive immunoassay into a paper microfluidic device and used gold nanoparticles as a signal indicator. Furthermore, a novel ratiometric analysis method was used to improve signal resolvability at low concentrations of DON. Detection of DON in aqueous extracts from solid foods, feeds or feed ingredients was successfully validated with a detection range from 0.01-20 ppm (using dilution factors from 10-10.sup.4). Compared with conventional methods, the novel DON-Chip greatly reduces the cost and time of mycotoxin detection in the food and feed industry.

A sample collection and detection device includes a collection cavity. The device further includes a sample collector. The sample collector comprises a collection rod and an absorption element, and the absorption element has a hollow cavity. A part of the collection rod is received in the hollow cavity of the absorption element. A first lug for blocking and locating the absorption element is arranged on the collection rod. Also provided is a method for collecting and detecting sample using the sample collection and detection device.

A cartridge has a strip that is provided with the test region and a case in which the strip is accommodated and in which an observation window for observing the test region from an outside is formed in a surface. A emission end portion, through which illumination light for illuminating a test region, is disposed at a position separated from the observation window on a rear surface of the case. A detection unit, that optically detects the color development state of the test region irradiated with the illumination light, is disposed at a position facing the observation window on a surface side of the case. The illumination light is transmitted from the rear surface of the case to an inside of the case, reaches the test region while being diffuse-reflected by an inner surface of the case, and illuminates the test region from the surface side.

A method and system for detecting a target component by using a mobile terminal, and a detection method for simultaneously screening multiple target objects. The method for detecting a target component by using a mobile terminal comprises: detecting a target component by using test strips (100) to obtain chromogenic test strips (100); arranging the test strips (100) around a same circle center at equal angles to obtain an arrangement ring of test strips (100), positioning identifiers being provided on an area outside the test strips (100) on the arrangement ring of the test strips (100); performing image acquisition on the arrangement ring of the test strips (100) by using a mobile terminal, and uploading an acquired image to a data processing center, correcting the acquired image according to the positioning identifiers; determining the positions of a personalized mark area and a result display area of each test strip (100) in the image; performing segmentation to obtain images of the personalized mark area and the result display area of each test strip (100); calculating a chromogenic result of the result display area, and obtaining a test result of the target component; and outputting the test result of the target component and displaying the test result on the mobile terminal.
